Hours after an explosion, guests were allowed to return to the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center early Wednesday.

The blast was reported in a mechanical room in the convention center at around 8:30 p.m., and two alarms were called during the emergency response.
A spokesperson for Gaylord tells Channel 4 News the explosion was located near the Ryman exhibit hall in the convention center.
Kim Lawson, with the Nashville Fire Department, tells Channel 4 News there was a smell of natural gas in the area, and gas was turned off into the building as crews and investigators responded to the scene.
